Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of golf great Tiger Woods, hit his first-ever hole-in-one on Sunday during the final round of the PNC Championship in Florida.

The moment came on the par-three fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Club in Orlando and propelled the Woods duo into the lead at the family-centred tournament.

Team Woods had opened the final round with back-to-back birdies, followed by a par on the par-five third hole before the stunning hole-in-one.

“It was a perfect seven-iron,” Charlie Woods told the Golf Channel. “It was awesome. I didn’t think it went in … until I go up there and see it.”

An excited Tiger pushed in disbelief while their playing partners Bernhard Langer and his son Jason dished out high-fives to the teenager.

“This is my first one! What a way to do it. That’s awesome,” Charlie replied when asked how many aces he’d hit.

Tiger and his son Charlie are chasing their first title at the event, which features 20 champions competing alongside a member of their family. The pair have competed for the last four years and were runners-up in 2021.

The 48-year-old Tiger Woods, who underwent microdecompression surgery for nerve impingement on his lower back in September, is playing in his first competitive event since the Open in July.
